Is it really free?
Yes. The 2.5″ vertical panel exports as a real, print-ready PDF with a small watermark — no account, no card, no trial clock. The $79 one-time upgrade removes the watermark and unlocks 3″ and 4″ widths, the tabular and linear formats and free updates.
Do I need to send my product to a lab?
No. Values are calculated from your recipe using USDA FoodData Central data. Database analysis is the standard route for small producers; a lab panel ($300–800 per sample) is only usually needed for claims testing or when a customer contract requires it.
Does the FDA review or approve my label?
No. FDA does not pre-approve nutrition labels — compliance is checked if your product is examined after sale. What matters is that the panel follows 21 CFR 101.9: rounding, ordering, format and type sizes. This tool applies those rules automatically.
What sizes and formats can I export?
2.5″, 3″ and 4″ panel widths; vertical, the small-package tabular (two-column) display, or linear; with 1/8″ bleed and crop marks. Vector text throughout — any print shop can use the file at any size.
Where are my recipes stored?
In your browser, on your computer. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and the page even keeps working offline once loaded. Your formulations stay yours.
Does it make the ingredient statement or allergen list?
Yes. It builds the ingredient statement in descending order by weight using common names (21 CFR 101.4), detects the 9 FALCPA major allergens and drafts the “Contains” declaration. Every name is editable, and you confirm the allergen review before the statement goes into a PDF. Detection is a starting point — flavors, highly refined oils and cross-contact still need your own verification.
What's free vs paid?
Free: the full editor, live preview, compliance checks, and unlimited 2.5″ vertical PDFs with a small watermark. Paid: watermark-free PDFs at every size, plus recipe slots — $14 for one recipe, $29 for five, $79 for unlimited with the tabular and linear formats and batch export. Re-exporting a recipe you already own is free forever on any paid plan, and credits never expire. The $14 and $29 packs open at launch; $79 is available now. See the free vs paid table.
